Paint It Black Lyrics

[Originally performed by Rolling Stones]

I see a red door
And I want it painted black
No colours anymore
I want them to turn black

I see the girls walk by
Dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head
Until the darkness goes

I see a line of cars
And they're all painted black
With flowers and my love
Both never to come back

I see people turn their heads
And quickly look away
Like a newborn baby
It just happens every day
My heart is back

I see my red door
And I want it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away
And not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up
When your whole world is black
No more will my green sea
Go turn a deeper blue
I could not forsee
This thing happening to you

If I look hard enough
Into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me
Before the morning comes

I see a red door ...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
